Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Phil, please make the legacy controller configs a priority, this game was the reason I bought a ps3, and it just doesn't feel like madden to me without my old school controller layout. I know , I'm old but I still love me some Madden!!!

I third this... not only that, but having to push X (PS3) when playing defense to access the defensive playmaker controls is one of the most counter intuitive measures I have seen added to any game. The PS2 version of switching players pre-snap on the defense was ideal (O to cycle forwards, X backwards, and then just pushing the specific buttons without pushing anything first to adjust the playmaker controls). The way the current control scheme is set up, it makes it very difficult to adjust anything before the CPU (or online opponent) snaps it.

Another 2 features that were not added to the PS3 version are: 1) ability to assign a specific defender to an opponent's receiver or RB; 2)ability to only "jam" a specific opposing receiver at the line without having to press all your defenders. Simple things like these were already in last gen (PS2).. and since this is my first year playing PS3, it makes their omissions that much glaring. Is there any chance of these things making it onto the DLC? Other than that - great job with the patches/ DLC !

Yep...you have to go to start an online game and it'll prompt you to download the roster update, then exit the game before it starts.

Thx, I was lost on that

Hey, whatever happened to those that responded with annoyance about the rosters being available to members with the silver membership???

"For the 1000th time"???

Was it really worth being an *** when you were wrong to begin with?

4th......I always changed my button config and I know that last year the button hints window at the LOS was wrong once you changed from the default controller config. I hope this is not the reason EA removed the controller config option this year. I don't use the button hints window but need configuration option back. Please. If not then please add legacy controller configs ASAP!

Suggestion....make it so that when setting a custom config it (after a pop up window to inform the user) auto disables the hint window.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

LOVING THIS GAME!

The only bug that is bothering me is when the cpu "ghost jukes" and runs right out of bounds near it. Fix that plz.

Great game boys.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

odd, The new roster update made Troy Smith the starter for the baltimore ravens. Now his rating is 76 instead of 73.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

I have the 360 version and have not been prompted about a game update. Isn't the first patch out?

Well i just bought the ps3 version. Went online and the new roster was out. They added Farve to the jets and made troy smith the starter for the ravens and improved his ratings. Thats all I noticed so far.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Phil, i hope that the team develop a patch that let u see the game in tv style broadcast in cpu-vs-cpu games. This behind the QB view is really hurting the experience when i dont feel like playing the game. PLEASE!!!! hook up a patch for that. Its important for us guys that like cpu-vs-cpu games. THANKS!!!!!

CPU vs. CPU games are really hampered by the fact that the running game is almost nonexistent. Last game I played each RB averaged 1.5 yards per carry. This is why we definitely need CPU sliders.

But those who like CPU vs CPU wouldnt the answer be Head Coach... not trying to be a jerk but definately loving Head Coach for my Coach Mode alternative.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

For the 360 are you able to get the patch without a gold membership? I know for sure as of today the only way to get a roster update is with a gold membership and when you start a ranked game becasue I tried it with my silver today. So I used a 48 hour code I had today just to get the roster update. But I fear the patches wont be available to me after the next two days. Anyone able to confirm that you can download the patch with just a silver?

I really want to get the update once they fix the field degrade problem. I played a game in heavy rain today and by the end the uniforms were a muddy mess but the field was not torn up at all. Funny thing is, last year was the opposite the field would look like a mudhole but the uniforms were nice and white.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

What'd it do for the PS3? What differences do you see?

check out the impressions thread here in a few. I am about to finish my 10th game(5 minute quarters) with the game post patch 1.

Re: Madden 09 Roster & Patch Update

Also, can you (EA) finally do something about the disconnect glitch? It seems unreal that this can't be fixed, even though it's been around for what, 5 years now? I just got glitched online today and the game's only been officially out for not even 24 hours.. great.
